The way we set up the hard disks on our 20+ student AT clones is to make up
the proper image on one machine, and then download the absolute disk image
(20 meg) to a second machine using the MINIX 1.3 Ethernet stuff.  These
two then get copied to two more machines over Ethernet, etc.  After a while,
there is quite a bit of traffic on the Ethernet, but it seems to work fine.
